Ispell 3.3 offers improved support for international languages, improved
deformatting, and better support for compilation on Windows systems. All
known security holes have been closed. A number of small bugs are also
fixed.
Ispell 3.2 is primarily a bug-fix release, but a number of new
features are important to users:
- There is a new interactive mode. If ispell is invoked without
arguments, it will prompt for words and suggest corrections.
- The emacs interface (ispell.el and ispell.texinfo) is no
longer distributed with ispell. Use the code that comes with
emacs, or pick it up from:
ftp://kdstevens.com/pub/stevens/ispell.el.gz
or the matching ispell.el home page:
http://www.kdstevens.com/~stevens/ispell-page.html
- There is now an HTML mode. It is automatically selected for
files ending in ".html", ".htm", or ".shtml". It can also be
chosen manually with the -H switch.
- There is a new general-purpose deformatter switch, -F. This
switch, which was suggested by Ron Guilmette, allows an
external program to perform deformatting for ispell. The -F
switch opens the door to completely generalized spell checking
with ispell. Want to spell-check your C/C++ comments? A
simple deformatter filter will do the job. See the ispell
manual page for details.
- The annoying "TeX backslash bug" is now fixed correctly.
- TeX/LaTeX deformatting is now somewhat configurable. Check
out the -k switch and TEXSKIP1 in the manual page.
Also include the irix patches from PR pkg/26925 from Georg Schwarz.

spelling checker. The new format allows multiple language
dictionaries to be installed at the same time, and uses pkgsrc
dependencies, rather then overloading the base package.
This is the base package (which also installs the default American
English directories).
